NOTE TO USER
The appearance of the finish will
vary depending on the porosity,
color and overall condition of the
wood surface. To ensure desired
appearance and proper drying time,
always finish a small test area
before proceeding. If the wood
surface appearance is not in sound
condition, do not use Gold Finish,
use Cabot® Deck Correct™ or
other Cabot product.
Extractive Bleeding: Extractive
bleeding is not caused by the
coating, nor is it a coating failure.
To remove discoloration caused by
extractive bleeding, use Cabot®
Problem-Solver® Wood Brightener.
Follow directions on label.
Mildew: Any mildew stains present
on the surface prior to application
should be removed with Cabot®
Problem-Solver® Wood Cleaner.
Mildew stains are not caused by the
coating, nor do they represent
coating failure. This product
contains agents that inhibit the
growth of mildew on the coating’s
film.

MAINTENANCE
Clean regularly with mild soap and
water to remove dirt and grime.
Reapply a single coat when the
sheen has dulled. Reapplication
time will vary based on traffic and
use. Damaged areas can be
sanded and touched up as needed
to maintain appearance.
UV rays (sunlight) and moisture
(rain/snow/dew) are wood’s natural
enemies, so minimize exposure.
Evaluate finish each spring and
maintain as needed. Finish
durability depends upon weather,
wear and other local conditions, but
finish typically lasts 3-5 years on
decks.
